Haldirams Soan Papdi

Sohan Papdi or Soan Papdi, is a popular sweet confectionery from the Indian subcontinent. It is made from a mixture of gram flour, sugar, ghee (clarified butter), milk, and cardamom powder. The mixture is cooked and then rolled out into thin sheets, which are then cut into small squares or diamond-shaped pieces.

Son papdi has a flaky and melt-in-your-mouth texture, with a sweet and nutty flavor that comes from the combination of sugar, ghee, and cardamom. It is often garnished with chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios for added texture and flavor.

Son papdi is a popular sweet treat in India, particularly during festive occasions such as Diwali, Holi, and Raksha Bandhan. It is also commonly given as a gift during weddings and other celebrations.

In addition to its delicious taste, son papdi is also believed to have several health benefits. Gram flour is high in protein and fiber, while ghee is rich in healthy fats and vitamins. Cardamom is also known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is important to note that son papdi is a high-calorie and high-sugar treat, and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
